On view through January 6, 2019 Seventy artworks by 30 artists examine the hidden and often sinister mechanisms of power. Highlighting the years between 1969 and 2016, the exhibition explores themes of paranoia, truth and power with artworks by Mark Lombardi, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck, Jenny Holzer and Peter Saul, among others. Collectively, the postwar artworks present an archaeology of troubled Western democracies, revealing uncomfortable truths in the present age of anxiety.
